Of course that's right. I think our talk went something like.... You should buy a EPIC w/100mm fork > Stumpjumper w/100mm fork > Epic w/120mm fork > Epic Carbon > Scott Spark > Yeti 575 > Epic w/100mm...

Oh I forgot to add the new Ibis Mojo SL, as in 4.93 lbs! 5" of travel, sweet sweet succulent carbon.

BAM is the sound of the rear wheel hitting the frame and me falling over.

cracked the rear swingarm in half. frame is ~6 months old. Hope they warranty it.
ALL FRAMES.

This is why I always carry zip ties and duct tape. Find a few branches etc and May not shift great but you are not walking home

Do I get commission every time uses the name Mr. Pho?!

I'm a few G's out of pocket now so we'd best get everyone using the Pho franchise!

Hey Tiny!! Brewmaster makes a good point. I guess we should get that 750lb spring to you ASAP. The good news is you you've got a perfectly good Coiler to ride. You don't need no stinkin' YetIntUrners...
